The muted colors and open space lends themselves well to the theme. Nicely done

Nicely balanced colors and contrasts.

Ok, the tiger has a very happy face...

Using the fence in the foreground, and the empty open space within the enclosure, does fit the theme well. The colors and DOF are very nice!

Hiking alone, is not a sign of loneliness.

It is a great photo and totally on theme

However a lot of seniors would beg to differ I ams ure

The separation of your subjects, and muted colors are an excellent interpretation of the theme. Good balance and lighting.

Not sure if she is lonely or praying for her sins nice photo

Looking at this photo objectively, I see a girl whose facial expression reads more a quiet desperation, lending itself to a feeling on loneliness. She seems to be searching for some meaning, perhaps out of her loneliness. The setting (a graveyard) also portrays loneliness, as she may be praying for a deceased loved one. That is my interpretation.

The image is very fetching. The smooth feeling of the soft focus, and the hardness of the stone gives it a nice balance.
